Based on the Focus RS 500 price, which shares the same engine, I'd reckon this would cost at least 45 grand.
The Focus RS 500 tuning pack can be bought from Mountune for 2000 pounds,so the real price would be less than 30 000 pounds.The 8000 pounds markup is just the mat black film cover and the ''exclusivity'' of owning a limited edition Focus.
There's more work done on this than the RS/RS500. Different rods, turbo and manifold non?
Plus it's running some mental Haldex cut-and-shut jobbie.

The person who writes this article thinks you should perhaps consider your language. If you wish to insult me, fine - i'm man enough to take it. But I don't think your choice of insult is appropriate, and could well be considered offensive by some.

In answer to your question, though, it depends on your browser. There's something strange about the paragraphs with pictures in them that makes the fonts appear a different size in some browsers. Try it in Chrome or IE and it should come out fine.

Beat me to it!!

A standard 850 T5 is still man enough to deal with most modern hot hatches in a straight line.

I liked mine alot and my local tyre depot loved me smile
Sooo true my friend and very cheap to re-map nowadays. That alone is enough to see off a standard 'R' and a little help from a bleed valve ensures a smug grin.......30mpg isn't bad either. Wonderin what you have now buddy as the original and best T5 is a hard act to follow especially for the money.....

They do that, and then spoil it all with a crappy Haldex transmission? FFS. I guess it is good for passing the emissions regs, but naff all use for anything else. I'm afraid the paint colour does look like Nogaro Blue that has been left outside in the sun too long. C'mon Ovlov, sort it!
